Aircraft Description
This isn’t your average 172. Outfitted with the Penn Yan Aero SuperHawk conversion, this aircraft delivers a serious performance boost, transforming it into a capable and confidence-inspiring platform for both training and cross-country missions. With a 180-horsepower engine upgrade, PowerFlow tuned exhaust system, and a STOL kit, this Skyhawk offers improved climb performance and shorter takeoff rolls, perfect for the demands of high-density altitude and mountain flying.
The cockpit is equally refined, featuring a Dynon SkyView HDX glass panel that delivers real-time situational awareness with an intuitive interface. A Garmin 530W GPS/NAV/COM provides IFR-capable navigation, while a JPI EDM-930 engine monitoring system gives you a complete digital readout of engine performance.
This SuperHawk is a balanced blend of power, precision, and technology. It’s ideal for pilots who want a traditional, reliable airframe enhanced with modern capability, especially when navigating the complexities of flying in mountainous terrain.
